Murong Kai slowly walked to Su Jing's side, stared at his dejected face, and whispered: "Since you love them so much, why do you do this?"
This sentence was like a torch that lit up Su Jing's world. His eyes brightened a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he lowered his head.
"Your Majesty Bei'an, it's good that you want to protect them, but have you ever thought about the pain in Ah Man and Jin Xuan's hearts when you treat them like this? Do you know that Ah Man has had trouble sleeping in the past two days since she returned?"
Su Jing felt distressed when he heard Murong Kai talking about Ah Man, but he still pretended to be calm. He snorted and said, "She can't sleep? It's obviously because of her that I can't sleep. And my injury this time was caused by you, right?"
"The father is unkind and the daughter is unfilial. The emperor seems to have no reason to accuse her of being ruthless."
"What about you? Aren't you afraid that I won't allow you to get married?"
"Your Majesty Bei'an may not know that we had already held a wedding ceremony in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the one who presided over the wedding was my ancestor, the Grand Empress Dowager of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Then I don't agree, and you still can't take her away."
"Just because she was stabbed to death, you spared the murderer?"
Su Jing felt that if he wasn't pissed off to death by Ah Man during the day, he would be pissed off to death by Murong Kai now.
Other sons-in-law have to try to please their fathers-in-law in all kinds of ways, but why is this one from my family so irritating? Especially his nonchalant look, as if he doesn't know how poisonous his words are.
"I'm not taking Ah Man away because of Jin Xuan, not because of you. Your kingdom, your father-daughter and father-son relationship, have nothing to do with me. I came to see you today purely because I don't want to make Ah Man sad."
"You may have your own concerns, but Ah Man is not just yours now. You can make her sad and upset, and I will endure it. When I can't bear it anymore, I will take her away. By then, it will be too late for me to regret it."
"I came here today just to have a good talk with you. After all, you are Ah Man's father. If you really still regard her as your own daughter, treat her better. I hope she won't be sad when she thinks of her father in the future."
"All the forces of our Great Zhou in Bei'an can be used by me. Using them by me means using them for Ah Man. However, whether these forces are aimed at you or are in the same blood with you depends on your opinion."
Su Jing looked at Murong Kai, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Murong Kai's words were very tempting. He might have to start all over again with his previous arrangements. However, if he wanted to follow his previous plan, the road was becoming increasingly difficult. He was not even sure if it would turn out as he had imagined.
Also, whether or not to involve Ah Man in this storm is not something that can be decided in just a few words.
"Murong Kai, you will stay in the imperial study today, and serve me from now on."
"Your Majesty Bei'an, I am the little eunuch that Murong Kai gave to Princess Jiaoyang. If I come to you and Murong Kai asks me about it, it will be difficult for me to tell you. After all, it was the princess who took me in."
Murong Kai spoke seriously from Xiao Yuanzi's perspective. No matter what the outcome of today's negotiations was, Su Jing definitely didn't want him and A'man to be together.
He had anticipated this and had come up with reasons and excuses.
Su Jing's expression changed again and again, and finally he couldn't help but say: "You are really willing to take risks."
In order to marry Ah Man, the prince dressed up as a eunuch and didn't even care about his dignity.
"As long as you can win the beauty, the ending is good and the process is not important." Murong Kai listened to Su Jing's gritting teeth words and took it as a compliment and accepted it.
He smiled and turned away. Su Jing looked at his back, furious. When no one else knew, he cursed Murong Kai in his heart as a hateful person. Of course, he also cursed Ah Man, saying that she was blind for falling in love with such a black-hearted man.
